BASIC INSTRUCTOR TRAINING
This online training is intended for instructors who teach Serbian as a foreign/non-native/heritage language, regardless of teaching experience. Most vital is that instructor has the desire to improve his teaching, and to discover both new tools for class preparation and new sources of educational materials. The training consists of 11 topics that provide a detailed insight into the system of Serbian as a foreign/non-native/heritage language.

Training moderators present the Azbukum approach to Serbian, with methods for overcoming obstacles, advancing instruction, and assessing students’ difficulties. Familiarization with Azbukum’s Serbian knowledge scale is the crux of the training. Our scale is aligned with the European language instruction framework (progressing from levels A1 to C2), and accredited by the Qualifications Agency of the Republic of Serbia. Everyone who passes the training will receive a Certificate of Attendance for the training.

Impressions of our participants
One of the best things I discovered this year is the Training for Teachers of Serbian as a Foreign Language/Non-native Language organized by the Azbukum team from Novi Sad. I am implementing their great methods extensively in my work with Swedes. Thanks to Azbukum!
I liked how you designed all the presentations, and especially the homework. I’m glad I had the opportunity to finally put together the various pieces in my head that came together after years of experience. They needed something to connect them.
From the first contact with Azbukum, I have felt like I am “at home”! Everything can be solved, adjusted, you always have a solution. The part of the team I have had contact with is incredibly helpful and kind, and you have long been known for your competence.
I would like to thank the Azbukum team for all the advice and support they provided. You introduced us to the system of teaching a foreign language in a thorough yet practical way and how this type of instruction should be approached. A big thank you!
This experience has helped me tremendously — I achieved even more than I thought I could! What meant the most to me were the parts on level assessment and, especially, the final section on testing and grading. I’m also truly grateful that we’ve stayed in touch with our colleagues.
I received a lot of useful and high-quality information and guidance for my future work. You pointed out our mistakes in an extremely subtle way, so I never once felt uncomfortable. You answered our questions generously and managed to keep my attention fully engaged.

INSTRUCTOR TRAINING FOR WORKING
WITH CHILDREN AND YOUNG ADULTS
Working with children and young people is one of the greatest challenges for language teachers. How does one approach them and engage their attention long-term? How does one offer them fun, but at the same time systematic subject matter? This training answers many questions and demonstrates solutions for successful children’s classes.

Impressions of our participants
The call to teach Serbian in the diaspora is a demanding challenge. With this seminar, I feel that for the first time, after eleven years of work, I have a partner who can understand me, support me, and provide me with guidance where I am at a crossroads.
I’m so happy! A real wealth of information for someone who hasn’t taught Serbian. Kudos to the organization ✨!

Impressions of our participants
It was extraordinary! I think this workshop was very useful, and that it is quite nicely, in a nuanced way, based on the classroom (basic) Azbukum training for lecturers. I must mention that it is great that almost a year has passed since my basic training, so this was a refreshment for me in some small, dosed segments!
It’s wonderful to be part of such a beautiful community, to have a place to share your concerns, to know that suggestions are welcomed because we all want to be better! Thank you, it was very helpful ☺️!
The webinar was extremely useful, especially for someone with no teaching experience, like me. All praise for the lecturers.
Thank you very much and I hope for new thematic workshops of this type. Very useful and interesting ☺️! Thank you, girls!
Thank you very much, this was all very useful to me.
Overview of our participants' impressions
The training was wonderful and demanding. We had a great time, learned a lot, understood some things differently for the first time… Now we have created a Viber group, so we can stay in touch and come to your school one day.
I would like to express my immense gratitude for everything I learned during the training. Thank you for the new perspectives, for the wind at my back, and I hope that I will have the opportunity to attend your seminar again or to collaborate with you one day.
Thank you for the opportunity to learn a lot from more experienced colleagues in these few meetings. Great respect for the content of the textbooks, classes, platform – simply what you do has put teaching Serbian as a foreign language on a world level.
I wanted to see and exchange experiences with other people and get to know some new ways of education that I haven’t used before. I especially have to highlight the class on adapting materials, because you really gave me the wind in my back and new ideas for work.
I would like to thank the Azbukum team for the well-designed and useful training for lecturers. This course provided me with information and practical tools that I will be able to apply in my future work. The lessons were comprehensive, and the homework assignments were challenging and useful.
The organization of the training at Azbukum is very practical, theoretically sound and stimulating with excellent video materials and homework. It was especially important for me to further educate myself and improve myself professionally. All praise, indeed!
